Your long standing acne with pus blood filled lesions oily skin dull face and scars shows that the problem is not only on the skin but deeply rooted inside due to chronic pitta and kapha imbalance along with impure blood and weak digestion When this condition continues for years medicines give temporary relief but acne keeps returning because toxins keep circulating in the blood and excess oil keeps getting produced This is why face back and shoulders are involved and scars are forming Treatment should focus on cleaning the blood balancing digestion and reducing excess oil formation from within Along with internal ayurvedic medicines diet plays a major role avoiding oily spicy junk sugar and late night eating is very important Including light warm food adequate water bitter vegetables and proper sleep helps skin heal slowly With consistent internal purification and external care pus filled acne reduces new breakouts stop and gradually oiliness dullness and scars also start improving but it requires patience and regularity

It is really unfortunate for you to have suffered so long. But this is really a curable situation 1.Boil and filter triphala churnam, 2 tsp for 250ml water, filter it and use the watery part to repeatedly wash your face after it is been well cooled off… This is an antibiotic and helps greatly with pus drainage and opening pores 2.make a paste out of finely crushed dried neem leaves, rosewater and raktachandan… This helps with acne scars <link removed>nsume 2 or 3 bottles of tiktakam kasayam -15 ml with with 45ml luke warm water… It will be bitter, but it really helpsblong term All the best

Hello I totally get how frustrating and draining it is when acne’s been a constant battle for over 5 years – especially when it’s painful, full of pus, leaves scars, and has spread all over. It’s way more than just skin deep; it hits your confidence hard. But the good news is, it’s treatable if we tackle the root cause YOUR CONCERN –Bad acne for 5+ years –Pimples with pus and blood –Oily, dull skin –Scars on face, back, and shoulders –Tried lots of medicines, but nothing lasts –This says the real problem is in your blood and hormones, not just on the surface. HOW AYURVEDA SEES IT In Ayurveda, this is called Mukhadushika (Yauvan Pidika) with Rakta-Pitta Dushti. –What’s happening: –Too much Pitta → heat, pus, redness, blood –Blood’s not clean (Rakta Dushti) → acne that hangs around and spreads –Kapha’s blocking things up → oily skin, blocked pores –Digestion’s off (Ama) → toxins coming out through your skin That’s why creams and antibiotics only do so much. WHAT WE’RE AIMING FOR –Clean up your blood –Cool down Pitta –Get rid of toxins –Fix scars and oiliness AYURVEDIC PLAN INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Mahamanjisthadi Kwath– 15 ml twice a day with warm water (Blood cleaner) 2.Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice a day after eating (Detox your liver, control oil) 3.Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice a day (Helps acne heal, fights bacteria) 4.Triphala Churna– ½ tsp at night (Cleans your gut and toxins) EXTERNAL CARE –Wash your face with neem or tea tree wash –Put Kumkumadi taila on scars at night –Use Multani mitti + neem powder once a week –Don’t squeeze pimples! FOOD AND HABITSSkip: Milk, cheese, whey Sugar, bakery stuff Fried food Eggs Staying up late ✅ Eat: Veggies Fruit Moong dal Rice Amla Drink lots of water WHAT TO EXPECT 2–3 weeks: Fewer new pimples 2 months: Clearer skin 3–6 months: Scars get better This acne’s not forever – your blood just needs a good clean. You’ve been dealing with this for way too long – time to heal from within Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

1.Paripathadi kwath 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 2.Neemghan vati 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 3.Manjisthadi churna 1/2 tsp twice daily with water or honey after meals 4.Ointment Acnovin -apply on the pimples and acne twice daily - Multani mitti (Fuller’s earth) + rose water pack: Once or twice weekly to absorb excess oil. - Turmeric + sandalwood paste: Spot application for pus-filled acne. 🍲 Diet & Lifestyle (Ayurvedic perspective) - Avoid: Spicy, fried, oily, junk food, excess dairy, and late-night eating. - Favor: Warm, light meals—moong dal, rice, steamed vegetables, pomegranate, bitter gourd, and leafy greens. - Hydration: Drink plenty of warm water; add coriander seed infusion for cooling. Routine: - Sleep on time; late nights aggravate Pitta. - Gentle yoga: Shitali pranayama, Anulom Vilom, Sarvangasana for circulation. - Avoid touching or squeezing acne—this worsens scarring. Warm Regards DR. ANJALI SEHRAWAT
